Best Buttermilk Biscuits With Sausage Gravy Recipes

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS WITH SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Combine the buttermilk and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and gently mix until just combined.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly using the heel of your hand to compress and push the dough away from you, and then fold it back over itself. Give the dough a small turn and repeat eight or so times. (It's not yeast bread; you want to just barely activate the gluten, not overwork it.) Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough out 1/2 inch thick. Cut out rounds of dough with a 1 1/2-inch round cutter dipped in flour; press the cutter straight down without twisting so the biscuits will rise evenly when baked.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using a wooden spoon, break up the meat into small pieces. Cook until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour off any excess rendered fat. Add the onions and cook until clear and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and stir to combine and coat. Add the milk and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool just slightly. Split and serve hot with the sausage gravy.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS WITH SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix in the butter with a pastry cutter or a fork until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and stir until the dough comes together in a ball.
• On a lightly floured surface, gather the dough into a bowl and knead gently 6 times. Pat dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough into three inch rounds with a lightly floured cutter. Place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Brush with buttermilk.
• Bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• While the biscuits are baking, prepare the gravy. Brown the sausage in a large saute pan set over medium high heat. Transfer browned sausage to a paper towel to drain.
• Reduce heat to medium low and add butter and flour to pan and whisk together with remaining sausage drippings. Slowly add the milk a little at a time while whisking constantly, scraping bottom of pan with whisk to removed browned bits. Continue to cook, while whisking often, until gravy has thickened. Stir in salt and pepper and sausage. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve warm biscuits with the gravy. Store leftover gravy in the fridge for up to 5 days. Store biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

COUNTRY GRAVY

Steps:

• Cook sausage or bacon reserving drippings. Add drippings to frying pan along with flour and mix well with spoon. Cook this until well blended and begins to boil in pan.
• Add milk all at once and cook until boils. Boil for about five minutes until reaches thickness desired. Watch closely because gravy will boil over on stove if you don't continue stirring. Add salt and pepper to taste. Can crumble sausage or bacon into gravy if desired.

• Meanwhile, cook sausage in large skillet over medium heat 5-6 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently. Stir in flour. Gradually add milk; cook until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Split biscuits in half. Place 2 halves on each of 8 plates; top with about 1/3 cup gravy.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS WITH EGGS AND SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• For the sausage: Combine the pork, garlic, sage, thyme, onion powder, and oil in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover the sausage and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Form the sausage mixture into 8 patties. Heat a large nonstick pan over high heat and cook the patties until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
• For the black pepper buttermilk biscuits: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Using a dough cutter, combine the ingredients until they are incorporated. Cut in the butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and gently mix until the mixture just begins to come together. Scrape the dough onto a lightly-floured counter. Pat the dough into a 10 by 12-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Use a 2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits. Press together the scraps of dough, and repeat the process. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with the black pepper. Bake the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on a baking rack.
• Yields: 10 to 12 biscuits
• For the cream sauce: Put the milk in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Melt the butter in a second small saucepan over medium heat, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, do not allow the flour to color. Slowly whisk in the warm milk, increase the heat to high and continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken and the raw taste of the flour has been cooked out, about 5 minutes; season with the salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Yield: 2 cups
• For the eggs: Beat the eggs in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Melt the butter over low heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add the eggs and cook slowly, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until soft curds form. Slice each biscuit in half and put a sausage patty on the bottom of each biscuit and place the other half on top. Serve 2 sausage biscuits per person. Serve with cream sauce and scrambled eggs.
